SLS

Activation of the B-2 test stand at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi for the “Green Run” test campaign of the first Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage is almost complete and NASA and its contractor workforce are moving into practice and simulations of the upcoming tests while finishing up remaining tasks. The B-2 position of the test stand has been used for stage testing from Saturn to Shuttle to Delta IV, and NASA is planning to set up the first Core Stage there in the second half of 2019.
